The Pacific Bay Rainforest II are one SWEET blank!! DO NOT let the cost fool you. Matter of fact I'll bet $$ you've held the same blank that costs twice as much from others. The MagBass Rainforest series is ESPECIALLY nice. You wont regret buying one.

Both the T2 and RF2 series are SLEEPER blanks - they just don't get the hype others do for some reason, but they are really nice. I have built on probably 30 different models of them, and been very happy with all of the them.

The T2's especially for me - they feel great, and they are super tough!

Thanks - Marc

Keep it simple - that's all I can handle!

I have used both tradition 2 and RF mag bass and they're good.

I can't find the RF2 or T2 Pac Bay Blanks online. Where are you purchasing them?

I get mine at Angler's Workshop. I use more salmon/steelhead than the others, but I prefer the Rainforest blanks over the Traditionals in the popping and mag bass blanks I've used also..
